Answer 1

The answer for this question is D

Answer 2

Answer: D. There was a one-way flow of wealth favoring the colonizers.​

Step-by-step explanation:

With the Colonists simply taking resources and not paying the colonies for it, there was a one way flow of wealth which favored them alone. Had the colonists paid for the goods and then processed them for resale (as developed countries do now), there would have been at least some sort of wealth flowing back to the colonies for the resources they possessed. The Colonists were essentially not paying for raw material inputs for production and simply reaped all the benefits after processing.
